Synthesis of vanadium oxide nanotubes via an ultrasonic method

Vanadium oxide nanotubes were synthesized using V₂O₅ powder as the precursor and hexadecylamine as the structure-directing template using a sol-gel reaction method followed by a one-step hydrothermal treatment. The effect of ultrasonics on the formation of nanotubes is reported. The structure and morphology of the nanotubes were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The inner and outer diameters of the nanotubes varied from 20 to 40 nm and 80 to 100 nm, respectively. The nanotubes measured several micrometers in length.

Carbon nanotube assisted synthesis of CeO2 nanotubes

CeO₂ nanotubes have been synthesized facilely using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as templates by a liquid phase deposition method. The properties of the CeO₂ nanotubes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) as well as thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The obtained CeO₂ nanotubes with a polycrystalline face-centered cubic phase have a uniform diameter ranging from 40 to 50 nm. The CeO₂ nanotubes are composed of many tiny interconnected nanocrystallites of about 10 nm in size. The pretreatment of CNTs and calcination temperature were confirmed to be the crucial factors determining the formation of CeO₂ nanotubes. A possible formation mechanism has been suggested to explain the formation of CeO₂ nanotubes.     

Structural evaluation and photocatalytic properties of Pt-supported titanate nanotubes

Pt nanocrystal-supported titanate nanotubes as a photocatalyst were prepared by hydrothermal treatment and subsequent heat-treatment in H₂ atmosphere (H₂ reduction) of a mixture of these titanate nanotubes and H₂PtCl₆. TEM results showed that Pt nanoparticles (a few nm in diameter and 5 to 10 nm in length) with good crystallinity were entrapped inside titanate naotubes and were closely precipitated on the surface of titanate nanotubes. These Pt nanocrystal-supported titanate nanotubes possessed the high ability for HCHO decomposition.     

Effect of Photoinduced Size Changes on Protein Refolding and Transport Abilities of Soft Nanotubes

Self‐assembly of azobenzene‐modified amphiphiles (Gly_nAzo, n=1–3) in water at room temperature in the presence of a protein produced nanotubes with the protein encapsulated in the channels. The Gly₂Azo nanotubes (7 nm internal diameter [i.d.]) promoted refolding of some encapsulated proteins, whereas the Gly₃Azo nanotubes (13 nm i.d.) promoted protein aggregation. Although the 20 nm i.d. channels of the Gly₁Azo nanotubes were too large to influence the encapsulated proteins, narrowing of the i.d. to 1 nm by trans‐to‐cis photoisomerization of the azobenzene units of the Gly₁Azo monomers packed in the solid bilayer membranes led to a squeezing out of the proteins into the bulk solution and simultaneously enhanced their refolding ratios. In contrast, photoinduced transformation of the Gly₂Azo nanotubes to short nanorings (<40 nm) with a large i.d. (28 nm) provided no further refolding assistance. We thus demonstrate that pertubation by the solid bilayer membrane wall of the nanotubes is important to accelerate refolding of the denatured proteins during their transport in the narrow nanotube channels.     

Synthesis and Catalytic Studies of Uniform Os &; Os–Pd Nanoparticles Supported on MWNTs

Os and Os–Pd nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared by vacuum pyrolysis at 573 K using the [Os₃CO₁₀(NCMe)₂] and [Pd(acac)₂] as precursors. The nanoparticles prepared showed a narrow size distribution (Os: 1.8 nm; Os–Pd: 4.3 nm) and were decorated evenly on the surface of the nanotubes. By controlling the metal-to-nanotube ratio, Os nanotubes were prepared using the carbon nanotubes as a template. The catalysis of Os–Pd nanoparticles towards CVD carbon nanotube synthesis was studied. Dedicated to Professor Gunther Schmid on the occasion of his 70th birthday.     

High activity of novel Pd/TiO2 nanotube catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation

Electro-oxidation of methanol in sulfuric acid solution was studied using palladium well-dispersed on titanium nanotubes, in relation to methanol oxidation processes in the direct oxidation methanol fuel cell. Pd dispersed on titania nanotubes, which leads to high surface area substrates, showed excellent catalytic activities compared to those of pure Pd and Pd-TiO₂ nanoparticles. TEM results show a narrow distribution of TiO₂ nanoparticles whose particle size is about 10 nm, and uniform nano-sized TiO₂ nanotubes with 10 nm in diameters are seen from HRTEM . A homogeneous structure in the composite nanomaterials is indicated by XRD analysis. The composite electrode activities were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and at 25 °C it was found that 3 wt% Pd in titania nanotubes had the best activity for methanol oxidation.     

Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of Magnetic Cryptomelane-Type Manganese Oxide Nanotubes

Magnetic cryptomelane-type manganese oxide (OMS-2) nanotubes were successfully prepared by grafting Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles onto the OMS-2 nanotubes. SEM and HRTEM images show that the prepared magnetic OMS-2 nanotubes exhibited diameters of 100?nm, lengths less than 3.0???m, and the diameters of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles are less than 10?nm. The synthesized material exhibits excellent magnetic separation and catalytic properties for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) by a Fenton-like reaction.     

Facile synthesis of multifunctional multiwalled carbon nanotubes/Fe3O4 nanoparticles/polyaniline composite nanotubes

With an average diameter of 100-150 nm, composite nanotubes of polyaniline (PANI)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) containing Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a two-step method. First, we synthesized monodispersed Fe₃O₄ NPs (d=17.6 nm, σ=1.92 nm) on the surface of MWNTs and then decorated the nanocomposites with a PANI layer via a self-assembly method. SEM and TEM images indicated that the obtained samples had the morphologies of nanotubes. The molecular structure and composition of MWNTs/Fe₃O₄ NPs/PANI nanotubes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra. UV-vis spectra confirmed the existence of PANI and its response to acid and alkali. As a multifunctional material, the conductivity and magnetic properties of MWNTs/Fe₃O₄ NPs/PANI composites nanotubes were also investigated.     

A New Concept for Obtaining SnO2 Fiber‐in‐Tube Nanostructures with Superior Electrochemical Properties

Tin oxide (SnO₂) nanotubes with a fiber‐in‐tube structure have been prepared by electrospinning and the mechanism of their formation has been investigated. Tin oxide‐carbon composite nanofibers with a filled structure were formed as an intermediate product, which were then transformed into SnO₂ nanotubes with a fiber‐in‐tube structure during heat treatment at 500 °C. Nanofibers with a diameter of 85 nm were found to be located inside hollow nanotubes with an outer diameter of 260 nm. The prepared SnO₂ nanotubes had well‐developed mesopores. The discharge capacities of the SnO₂ nanotubes at the 2nd and 300th cycles at a current density of 1 A g^?1 were measured as 720 and 640 mA h g^?1, respectively, and the corresponding capacity retention measured from the 2nd cycle was 88 %. The discharge capacities of the SnO₂ nanotubes at incrementally increased current densities of 0.5, 1.5, 3, and 5 A g^?1 were 774, 711, 652, and 591 mA h g^?1, respectively. The SnO₂ nanotubes with a fiber‐in‐tube structure showed superior cycling and rate performances compared to those of SnO₂ nanopowder. The unique structure of the SnO₂ nanotubes with a fiber@void@tube configuration improves their electrochemical properties by reducing the diffusion length of the lithium ions, and also imparts greater stability during electrochemical cycling.
